I’m no fan of bill maher. When reading a bulletin to the audience about the shockingly high rate of men molested as children by women he said the boys/teens/young men suffered from LBS: Lucky Bastard Syndrome.

Questioning something you have been raised to believe all your life is hard, but not impossible. That goes for Christianity, Judaism or Islam.

Accordingly, your statement about Islam in its “present form” is categorically false.
